Can confirm that RIO PIT frame rates are reduced by 50% at all times even while flying in the day. In SP mode - I would get ~60+FPS on the ground airfield or carrier, and ~120 fps in flight. I flew a good bit yesterday and this morning prior to the update. Since update, FPS are instantly halved in the RIO pit even during the day with zero cockpit lighting. Ugh. Essentially unflyable for me now.

Hello All: Haven't taken the Harrier out of the hanger for a bit. Decided to do so today but am unable to cold start from the Tarawa. Single player Caucus mission. I can start from the runway just fine in the same mission. However, when take from ramp is selected the fly screen takes me to the F10 map and my bird is no where to be found. Not sure when this has changed. Again haven't flown the harrier in a bit, but it worked fine prior to whatever change or bug has effected this. Is this a new bug? Is there a work around? Thanks,

First let me preface by saying thank you ED for the F16 module and all of the hard work. Kudos as the updates seem to be picking up some breadth, and I am honestly enjoying this little bird much more than I thought. My question is around external lighting and a centerline tank. Night ops without lights...do I need to say more? And if I recall correctly, I believe Wags last update prior to launch stated the centerline tank was completed. Seems I am feasting or famishing for fuel on missions. Some middle ground (centerline tank) would be much appreciated. Thanks

Any thought given to adding animated fuselage ladder and steps to the CAT?

I find that the Cat still talks to you and replies with ample feed back or "buffet". The fact that it no longer flies a like a school bus at 13 AoA and rattles my teeth out at 13 and ~only 4 Gs is a plus. Given HBs attention to detail and input from various SMEs with real life experience, I don't believe they would be taking us down an unrealistic FM path.

I was commenting on the OB update due today not the Hornet patches that have been pushed to 6.12. And as far as being late to the party. Was speaking to no communication from ED on today's OB delay other than an obscure Nineline repost, not in this forum, as to a late issue found.

I don't see this as instant gratification

How is waiting for an update that was scheduled for 5.22 - delayed. Ok understandable things happen. Pushed to 5.29. Delayed again and pushed to 6.5. Ok - things happen again. Now receive obscure re-post from Nineline through another user starting yes - issue found late. So now delayed again - but your are right things happen. Just seem to again and again and again.

Yep. Typical. Issue found late? Not like they haven't had several delays and weeks to test. Mishandled fi you ask me.

Nope. Not looking good at this point. Another commitment falls by the wayside. Becoming a trend.

Wasn't complaining at all. Not sure where that is coming from, but then again these forums are full of folks who like to pounce. Just clarifying that the HARM was "mostly" fixed in the last patch a month ago.

It is beginning to look like it will be 4 weeks. No word on today's update......silence from the devs on patch day is never a good sign which has been the trend over the last month, and then we get the late in the day communication update delayed yet another week. May be in jeopardy for this week as well.

Harm "mostly" fixed in the last patch. 5.8? Maybe I am flying a different Hornet then because for me the Harm is completely unreliable. Will not hit anything. Engage a SAM dead on my nose that is locking me and the harm will appear to track initially then goes off on it's on in some crazy direction.

Looks as if the goal posts get moved again. Becoming a trend

Nine line posted in the discord that they are still working on it and don’t know if it will be ready for tomorrow. This was posted in the F18 forum. So doubtful there will be an update tomorrow of even this week for that matter.

Doubtful will be this week as well. Silence says a lot.

Glad to hear that I am not the only one experiencing issues with the HARM after last couple of updates. They do not seem to be reliable at all. Fired two HARMS at the same SA8 complete miss both times. Tried passes in both SP and TOO mode. Zero hits in either pass or mode.

Explosion graphic looks terrible following the last update. Entire Lantirn screen whites out after target hit, and the explosion and resulting smoke appears as an ink blot. Is this intentional?

No issues with Jester here - other than "Chester" in today's update.

+1 Game froze in the middle of a dogfight with 2 Mig21s - had to hard restart. Wouldn't even get me to task manager

Yep - fix will be in tomorrow's update we hope. In the meantime, just revert back to the previous OB version prior to the 3.22 update - no more crashes

Agreed Patch Day is tomorrow - which would make it a regular update - not a hot fix. Only referenced hot fix question as it was mentioned over the weekend as hopefully coming in.

Guess no Hotfix for today

I have no problem connecting with the tanker (I prefer wings in auto). It is staying connected that is kicking my butt. F14 seems to disconnect far easier than other AC. I connect (on trim - no POI - my airframe stable as compared to the tanker. I touch the throttle to move up just a bit - and lose the connection. Don't touch the throttles and lose the connection. I could see it if I were bouncing all over the place but I am not. Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks
